NORTH CAMBRIDGE.

MeSsrS. Editors The past week has
been very busy one among the sugar
makers, and as this is second to no other
section in the state, few words may be
proper. The season opened late and to
some disadvantage in regard to the great
amount of snow which had accumulated
during the entire winter without the
usual thaws to settle it. The price has
ruled higher in consequence of less being
made in the mountain towns. Ship
ments made early in the season sold
readily for IA to 16 cents for common in
small size cakes in Boston. Choice
goods sold at Is to Is cents in the same
market. Large cakes usually sell for
cents per cake less than in to ounce
sizes. Large amounts are shipped in
syrup style ready for the table. Sales in
Boston have been very satisfactory for
this style the past few weeks. At the
present time about three pounds per
tree would be a fair estimate of the
average result among the many sugar
orchards. Last Wednesday was one of
the greatest sap days ever known by the
" oldest inhabitant." Over one pound
per tree was made by those able to save
the sap during the last remarkable flow.
Representatives John Brush and Zina
u. Chase from Fletcher and Cambridge
are probably recognized as among the
champion sugar makers In the State.
MIR. Brush runs 1000 trees in one body,
and boils the sap at one establishment,
and draws the syrup to his house where
it IS taken in hand by his wife and
daughter and made into bricks" or
syrup, as the order may be. They ship
largely to points in the west where quite
trade has been built up during the past
ten or twelve years. His sugar is just
as represented, pure and as fine as they
can make with their facilities. All
complain that not the very best in quail
ity is made this spring, as the warm
weather is too near for fine goods.
Mr.. Chase is considered the best au-
thOrity in all matters concerning sugar
making, arch-building, evaporatOrs, and
in fact the entire category of sugar-mak
ing matters. He handles 1870 trees,
has his works set up in "a, No. l " order
and catches the first sap and has his 2-oz.
cakes nicely boxed and in Boston as soon,
at least, as any other maker from north
ern Vermont, Mr.. Chase has been a
strong advocate of the Bellows Falls
Evaporation, and has a very nice one of
their manufacture which he uses when
crowded with sap, but is using one made
In Ohio of peculiar construction, and
his opinion of the different kinds he is
free to express and exhibit his evidence
for his opinion, unexpressed by the
writer. xxx

County Court,

The April term of the LamoiIle
County Court commenced tuesday
with Hon. R. S. Taft and associate
judges Guyer and Kelley on the bench.
Prayer was offered by Rev. E. j..
Ward The attendance was not as
large as usual, owing, probably to the
bad roads. The familiar cOuntenance
of j. H. Mimms, stenographer, is
missed this term, being succeeded by
Miss F. Bissell, of St. Johnsbury.
We noticed many members of the bar
as absent, among them being States
Attorney Parker and Hon. R. F. Par
ker, who are detained at home by i'll
ness. The beaming faces of Gov.
Bingham and Judge Poland were cas-
ily discernable. The weight of years
rests lightly on them and their elastic
step and erect form indicate they are
good for years to come. Waldo Brig
ham, Esq, although suffering a good
deal of late by illness, was on hand
as usual, looking considerably better
than for several terms back, and the
slight crap he gave brother lawyer
who was endeavoring to have case
continued, indicates that BRIG" has
not lost his old time vigor. The jury
is made up of a good looking body of
men, and judging from their appear
ance, will use their best judgment in
settling legal difficulties if they are
called upon so to do. j. c. Burke of
Newport, Nelson Rand, of Crafts
bury, V. A. Billiard and j. J. Mona
han. of Underhill, NJ. H. Alexander,
of Jericho, and Myron Buck, of
St. Adams, were among the at
torneys from outside of the county.
Most of these gentlemen are here
so often that it seems as if they be-
longed to us. There being no causes
for trial, after the usual preliminary
business and the calling of the jury
docket, adjournment was taken until
to-day, when the following cases will
be brought up: Administrators of
Nathan Camps estate VS.. H. w.
Camp. This is a case of trespass to
settle line in dispute Geod and Hem
dee for plaintiff, Rand, Brigham and

To the Citizens Of Wolcott:-
At late meeting of Foster Post a

the public in defraying the necessary eX-
pense for next Memorial Day. 1t will be
remempered that our town once voted to
raise certain sum for this purpose, and
which, by vote of the Post. has never
been drawn. At this time several citi
zens made objection to helping us by a
direct tax upon the grand list. but very
generously said they would help US in
this expense by subscription. Therefore
| am directed by Foster Post to ask all
that feel able so to do, to do something
when called upon by this committee to
assist in decorating the graves of our
dead; that the country for whose Union
they surrendered life may have the fer
vent and enthusiastic devotion of every
citizen. Also, we would at this time in
vite every one who has relatives and
friends resting in town, and especially in
the village cemetery, to unite with us on
the Both day of May next, and with a
tender reverence of love, adorn with
flowers your dead. Respectfully.
